Re: Fandoms Complicity in its Members Worst Excesses

[(Anonymous)]

The part of fandom I that I respect and like is the part that doesn't go along with it when people try to self-appoint as moral guardians and exert pressure. Other people are not asking these opinionated busybodies for approval. They're not going to stop kinking on problematic things. Nor should they.

If fans want to act on stuff that legitimately falls in the category of "keeping our space nice," confronting behaviors that degrade the community would be awesome. For instance, there are people who go from rp to rp and have a terrible reputation for being pushy, manipulative, and immature about being turned down. The community could talk to these people, name (user)names if they don't change, and make a place for profiles of what known sketchy behavior looks like, so that players who haven't encountered this can think "this person's making me uncomfortable, but maybe I'm overreacting?" and consult it for a reality-check. We need to make a culture where people know how to call out bad behavior without being hysterical and over-dramatic about it, and know that fandom will have their back when they have a reasonable complaint.

But ... my idea of a reasonable complaint is something that is directly affecting you. What kind of media other people enjoy, what kind of kinks they have, and whether their fanfic is to your taste is all their business. They have as much of a right not to be hassled for it as you do.

Some fandoms have aggressive bullying, an overdeveloped ownership culture, and a tendency to make up arbitrary rules from thin air. Some are prey to a certain kind of magical thinking - "if we all just don't write rape fics or only write them in a certain way, there will be fewer rapes!" IMO, this stuff needs to be addressed. The last thing we need is a longer list of traits that decent people "should" hate and dogpile.
